Budget head light

OK , next thing on the list -budget head light...Up to 50 euro....Any suggestion welcome...

The Enegizer 6 LED ( 4 white 2 Red) is a great cheap Head light and very durable, mine is going nearly 2 year now and gets used a lot. I got mine in Atlantic Home Care for €20. incl batteries

have a look on ebay, just enter fishing headlamp into the search engine. plenty of cheap ones there. if you get one from hong kong its cheaper again but postage takes upto 3 weeks.
i paid 13euro after P&P for my one from H.K. 28 leds and runs on 3aaa batterys. its well bright enough and the batterys last about 14 hours before they start to fade.
my friend has a silva one that was over 100euro and obviously its much brighter than my one but for 13euro you cant go wrong. same ones here are about 30euro but you dont have to wait for it to arrive.

i got one for 15 stg in a camping shop at the outlet past newry and got one free . they are pretty good so far and get a bit knocked about and they are a year old

you cant go wrong with the little energiser one. you can get it in argos for about 20 and mines been going strong for 2 years.

I'm in no rush , so ebay sounds kinda attractive , ...
Red - which one have you got ? How many LED does it has ? how bright is it ?

hey

if you try any camping shop and asked for a discount i got a pair of wets for 20% off at millets they are happy for the business and will negotiate

or else aldi i got one there 2 year 6 leds and 4 settings very bright and takes a lot of abuse

I use a baseball cap clip on led light does the trick for me. Got 6 of them from the states off eBay for about 24 euro and each one came with 2spare batterys aswell, for tricky hikes I also carry one of those rechargeable 50 led bar lamps.

this is the one i have. its only a cheapy one but well bright enough for me and at less than 6euro you cant go wrong. it works as 1 led, 9 leds or the full 28.

for that price you might as well buy 2 just in case 1 packs up but i have mine about 6 months and its as good as new.

The Energizer is a good light. I got mine from Argos and they are decent quality.
Or try a LED LENSER. They are very good.

the lenser is a good light but they eat batteries ,i,ve put an AA power pack on mine the difference is worth the hassle got fed up changing the batteries twice or three times on a long session

i have this too ...a great job!

you can get a wind up head torch maplin for 16 euro 3 led well built and very bright 1 minute winding lasts for 90 minutes plus

Have the energiser one myself, but got a Tesco own brand one for £7 and it is easily twice as bright
